Gatchaman OVA

In the year 2050, Earth faces a new threat from the technologically advanced alien race, the Galactors, who seek to plunder the planet's resources. To combat this menace, the ISO (International Science Organization) forms a special unit known as the Science Ninja Team Gatchaman. This elite team, comprising five young heroes codenamed Gatchaman, are equipped with advanced technology and extraordinary abilities.
